Have you/Would you/Will you try Online Dating?

I've been experienced online dating once and it went so badly! While I did not want to go into details about what happened to me but I was caught up in love triangle. I can tell this girl was really evil and I had not done anything wrong. Luckily I never met her and I just her bite her own word that someday she would be punished for what she had done to me. I've never been to online dating anymore since then and I would prefer normal dating. I am now married and prefer to have my wife...she is so much better than that evil girl.

Yup I had tried online dating twice. I would know the sickos from their profiles so if they message me they wouldn't get any reply. I have heard from my friends that it worked out for them. I guess they just got lucky. As with all things in this planet, I am always skeptical hehe. But I think it can work out just as there's no guarantee you can't find jerks in coffee shop meetings or in the real world.

Hi, Well...from my personal experience this is the best type of dating! I was dumped over a year and a half ago by my ex-wife. After feeling sorry for myself I decided to try online dating. I figured where else am I going to meet somebody so I gave it a try. Well, I met somebody who I have everything in common with, and we are now living together, and I can see us married within a few years. I am so glad I went that route! cheers,

I think you can meet someone nice that way BUT... I think it's harder for men than for women as men are more responsive to the way their loved one looks. And you can't SEE this person you're talking to. Another thing is if this relationship progresses, are you willing or interested in moving across country (or to another country) to be with this person?

Never. I am in a serious relation. Even if I haven't found my soulmate by now, I would never have tried on line dating. It really sounds scary to me. There is no guarantee that the people we know online are the same in real life

I have done the online dating thing and it didn't really work out. I was fortunate enough that I didn't get a psycho, and he was awesome when you talked to him. However, I think the real reason that it didn't work out was because he was a really bad kisser. It was just bad. I think that if you don't have alot of time to go out, or you just can't find anyone where you go, online dating is okay as long as you are careful. I don't think that it is a bad thing. My friend had done the online dating thing and married her man. They have been together for forever it seems. One just has to be careful.

No I have not, would not, ever try online dating... however I have a friend that did. He actually met like 4 of his girlfriends through them and the first three all were bad news head cases... but then he happened to met one online and she turned out to be just right for him and on top of that she was actually right around the corner from him. She actually use to live right next door to his step brother and they never met in person before. They are doing great and I must say that this is the only girlfriend of his I haven't had to tell him to run from. She's a sweetheart... I'm married and greatful to have never really been without love. I met my husband when I was 18 and we have been together for over 7 years now. But I really don't think I could ever look online for anyone to have a relationship with.

I would try it. I had a friend who met a guy through a phone dating thing and they are still together and this was like 6 years ago. They have two kids and everything. so think that it could work. It's not really the way you go about finding a person I think it jsut depends on the person that you find.

No Never. it is something that i am not at all comfortable with. i will never try this my friend.there are also success stories that i know. but i am skeptical about this.i may never try this.

Hmm. No i believe it's still best to meet people in the flesh hehe.

I've dated a number of people that I met online. Some were great, some were jerks, and I finally found "Mr. Right" at number ten and stopped. The key to it is being careful. I always met them at a well known busy restaurant. I always got their name, and phone number and gave it to a family member just in case. My son also has dated from online. Matter of fact his wife (the mother of my two grandaughters) was met online. However in his case it hasn't worked and they are now in a nasty divorce. I didn't use a dating "site" simply met people in local chat rooms and got to know them. For me it worked because I felt I knew what the person was like online before I ever had to meet them in person.

Yes,it could be. Not from the dating sites,but net friend i meet on line.Once i was in a chatting room,an boy added me as a friend,and then we talked on line very happily,day by day,we found there were so many points we can achieve,interests and views are maily the same,and from the distance touch,i can feel that he is an excellent boy with good temper and character,and then,we wet.... Haha.... He is my Mr.right now :) So sometimes,we should believe in: we love because it's him and me,love itself has no definite form .If you are happy,don't be skeptical how you recognise each other originally.

I signed on to OKC, initially to help a friend of mine feel less awkward about looking on an online dating sight for someone they were attracted to. For the most part, I didn't mind chatting with the people there, but it wasn't until last weekend that I finally agreed to go on a date with somebody. It turned out very well; we met in a mall in the late afternoon, grabbed some ice cream, and walked around the mall chatting for about three or four hours. It was fun, the guy wasn't at all creepy, and I guess it went well. Take it from me; it can be a success. You just have to be careful. Talk to the person you're meeting- first on messenger/email, then on the phone once or twice. Share a picture. Then, meet them in a public place the first time or two, and if you're still nervous, let someone know where you're going, what you're doing, and what to do if you don't come back/call by the next morning.

My girlfriend and I met online in a discussion forum and then we started talking to each other most of the time. Now we have met personally and our love life is going on well. We will soon get married.

Well I've never tried any of the online dating sites (EHarmony...umm...what are the others? hehe) but I did meet a guy over an online game, and I really like him. We haven't met in person yet, for a few different reasons, but I would like to some day. I really like talking to him, we have been talking for about 4 months now, a little more.

I tried a dating site for a few months. It was Ok. You could sign up to meet men (or women) with in a certain distance from you. I went out with a few very nice people from my area. And then I met someone outside the given distance, and I like him very much. So much so that I have taken down my dating profile, even though I only get to see him every month or so. I don't know how successful my experience will turn out to be. The distance is a problem. But I have a feeling this guy is well worth the time and effort.

I don't think I would venture into online dating sites. For me, a life partner should be someone you really know to the last strand of her hair. And it would take time before you may know someone that far. I don't think you can do that in an online dating site. But miracles do happen so I don't hate those who chose this kind of dating.

We can try anything in this world. Trying is better than just thinking. I have tried these online dating things and found some good girls who found to be not that good girls. These things just attract the people especially young people to search for a girl/guy of their Interest and can meet them and spend some time with them. These things mostly end in some issues but not with true love. Hence I don't use these things anymore. Its easy and good to find people in real world.

Yes, yes, and yes. This is the modern world. Cannot see why people get so hung up over this. Having said that there seem to be some women who believe they are able to fall in love with me from the Phillipines or Africa without ever meeting me! I usually suspect these are scams - but in one or two cases think it was a real life sad person. I do think you have to meet to be in love, but no harm where that comes from. I have had a lover from internet chatting and a number of good friends. I enoy OKCupid as a social networking site and also had three dates over a year there and even met my current partner.
